PLANTS NEED WINTER COLD Exposure to Low Temperature Is Re. quired to Prepare for Another Period of Growth, The role of winter cold ir growth has recently been ce Dr. F. V: Coville. After the period of growth in spring and Summer there is a period of dormancy before coid weather sets in, and if plants are main- tained artificially at a high tempera- ture this dormant period persists, Ex- posure to cold is needed to activate the plant for another Period of growth. Perhaps the liberation of enzymes acts on the stored starches, converting them into sugars, or the phenomenon may be due to a change in the permeability of the cell membrane. ; Though normally 2 plant the stimulus re- quired for a renewal of growth is sup- | plied by cold, mechanical injury or a period of drying may have the sume effect. The process »ccurs independent- ly in any exposed part of a plant, so that if one or two branches of a plant is kept continually warm while the other is subjected to the usual chilling, the former \ the return of sumr though the latter deve as usual. It would be interesti to learn what stimulus takes the place of cold in the equatorial r winter ill not develop on r temperatures ions. FREEDOM CAUSE OF INSANITY Mental Disease Prevalent in Russia After the Revolution is Termed “Mass Psychosis.” . The Russian revolution has produced a mental disease which is character- ized by Prof. P. J. Rosenbach, presi- dent of the Association of Phychiatr- fists, us “mass psychosis.” In other words, the birth of political freedom has been driving many persons insane, It is a mistake to assume that war makes sane men mad, according to Professor Rosenbach, who says that during the war he has treated between 6,000 and 7,000 insane soldiers, but that in no case did he discover that the victim’s mental affliction had been caused by war horrors or privations, During the first month of the revolu- tion the rate of morbidity from mental disease rose to an astonishing extent. Professor Rosenbach inquired into the victims’ antecedents and found, he Says, that these men and women had been entirely normal and that they did not come from tainted families. He ascribes their sudden insanity to the sudden and drastic changes In Russian political, social and intellectual life, One of the symptoms of “mass psy- chosis,” he says, is “trfatuation with committees, delegations and strations.” Similar phenomena were observed during the French revolution after the war of 1870-71, Professor Rosenbach observes. Russia’s Platinum Production. The production of platinum in the Ural district in Russia in 1916 is esti- mated by a correspondent of the Lon- don Mining Journal at only O74 troy ounces, against 107.774 ounces in | 1915; 156,774 ounces in 1914, 173,642 ounces in 1913 and 175,381 ounces in 1912. The decrease last year extend- ed to nearly all the districts, but was most marked on the Demidov estates an® the Shuvaloy placers. The short- age of labor has been one of the causes of the decrease. The fact that all crude platinum is now requisitioned by the government has led, it is believed, to the concealment of some quantities, so that the figures givey are below the real output. A considerable quantity of crude platinum is understood to be held by Russiun banks, which ad- vanced money to the producers before the metal was taken by the govern- ment. Cave Men in America. The cave man has long beer sup- posed to have lived only in the old world, and if the term is used to mean the very primitive species of homo sapiens, this is true. Explorations made in Kentucky this year by scien- tists of the American museum, how- ever, show that primitive men did live | in caves in America. In the Mammoth eave and others they found unmistak- able evidence that the mouths of the Kentucky caverns were used as dwell- ing places and that the Indians ex- plored the caves and mined quartz in them. because it is known that Indians did not live in this region after its discov- ery by white men. The American cave dwellers, therefore, must have | ‘belonged to an earlier period, iny FREE THE LOT MAN 122 South Wolostt Street Phone 635 demon- | This is especially interesting | Wasters Branded as SUES Tune ERY | COREE | Food | D mS | ee A.
